Florida Fun

We had a great March Break flying to Florida to stay with Doug and Rose. Though the weather was chillier than other years, we had sunshine every day! Alyssa had a great flight down. Ate when she needed to, and slept the rest of the flight. The way back was a different story. There was an hour delay while we were sitting on the tarmac...so needless to say she got quite fussy. She was starving, and over tired and then only slept for a little bit. It was a late night for sure!

Thank heavens we took the carrier. Craig's back might have been sore, but it saved our arms, and dealing with an extra thing to lug around! She flailed her arms and kicked her legs as we walked through the terminal. It was entertaining for everyone to see!

Watching the airplanes!

First morning in Sebring, FL. She was quite happy to see Jessy!

Playing with Jessy's duck. It made her laugh uncontrollably. Funniest thing ever!

Beautiful dress Aunt Christy and Uncle Dustin brought home for her from Thailand!

While everyone was out golfing, the babe, dog and I went for a 'walk' up the street!

Where is Maisie's Panda???? It is her favourite book!

We even celebrated St. Patrick's Day!

Craig bought some new clothes! The colour really brings out the red in his skin!

Grandma and Grandpa's house in the background.

Yep, she's learned to pull herself up with whatever is in her reach.

Grandma McGregor made the trek down from Orlando to visit. We had a girls day while everyone else went golfing!

The new Dasani model!

Beautiful view!

Hanging out outside on our last day in Florida.

Getting ready for the boat ride.

Having a great time on the boat.

Walking on the boat!

Waiting to get on the plane to go home. We were all exhausted at this point!

Something to pass the time!

Happy Birthday Alyssa!

Saturday, March 13th was Alyssa's first birthday. It is hard to believe that a year has passed since she was just over 2lbs! It was a great day, and having a lot of people here sharing in the joy of her birthday was great to see! Here are LOTS of pictures to tell merely part of the day. Thank you to everyone. We love you all! And as you would imagine, I have lots of pictures!

Alyssa in the morning, waiting for company to arrive.

Of course we had to put party hats on the dogs!

Loved the spring decorations! Thanks to SKS for the decorations and McCulloch's for the beautiful balloons.

"Yeah no! I don't like this hat!"
